AV--Yeah, we did have a good time since we are the wayward part of the family. We are the only ones that moved more that 30 miles from the house they all grew up in. With a combination of 4 siblings, and 17 (maybe more) children amongst them, my kids get a big jolt of fmaily infision when they visit. Besides, where else but with family can you get this type of enterntainment for the cost of a few tanks of gasoline and a few fast food meals along the way. If you can't get abused by your own family where do you go?<GGG> One final note worthy of mention. My wife comes from a family of card playing cheaters. They have taken cheating at cards to levels no one could ever attain. To make matters worse they are blatant but highly creative cheaters that have passed their skills onto their children who have exceeded the level of depravity of their parents. Between mirrored sunglasses, cards under your seat, sign language or hand gestures, sending out the smallest kids to walk around the table, outright flipping or looking at your hand, I would not be surprised to see on of them slip a laxative in your drink in order to peek at your cards while you were off to the bathroom. At any given point in time, they gang up on you during a game. Even your Pinoccle or Bridge partner turns trator on you. I think I know why there are so few older relatives or an expanded relative base in that family. I think they all got hung for cheating at Poker at all the Territorial Saloons across the West in the late 1800s. Between you and me (and my son) we have decided that if she does go before me, we WILL launch her into the mountains via the rockets to spread her ashes. Hopefully my wife will have overcome her fear of heights by that time. Andrew
